Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus legacy: overcoming the effects of past management practices to mitigate future water quality impairment.
Andrew N. Sharpley,Helen P. Jarvie,Anthony R. Buda,Linda May,Bryan M. Spears,Peter J. A. Kleinman +5 more
TL;DR: This study examined the drivers of legacy P at the watershed scale, specifically in relation to the physical cascades and biogeochemical spirals of P along the continuum from soils to rivers and lakes and via surface and subsurface flow pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A cross-scale analysis of paired-stressor effects on biological variables of European freshwater ecosystems shows that in 39% of cases, significant effects were limited to single stressors, with nutrient enrichment being the most important of these in lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protecting and restoring Europe's waters: An analysis of the future development needs of the Water Framework Directive

TL;DR: This analysis highlights that there is great potential to enhance assessment schemes through strategic design of monitoring networks and innovation, such as earth observation, and further integrate with other sectoral policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eutrophication management in surface waters using lanthanum modified bentonite: A review.
Diego Copetti,Karin Finsterle,Laura Marziali,Fabrizio Stefani,Gianni Tartari,Grant Douglas,Kasper Reitzel,Bryan M. Spears,Ian J. Winfield,Giuseppe Crosa,Patrick C. D'Haese,Said Yasseri,Miquel Lürling +12 more
TL;DR: Application of LMB in saline waters need a careful risk evaluation due to potential lanthanum release, and issues related to La accumulation, increase of suspended solids and drastic resources depletion still need to be explored, in particular for sediment dwelling organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
